Hi all,
I've had my Jotul F500 a year and in general it's been great. But I did notice that the grout at the back of the firebox is falling out. Is this serious? could it be affecting how much air gets into the stove, and how much gas escapes? Has anyone else noticed this problem? Thanks anyone for your input!
